Lost the plot

Boy oh boy! Are things getting hectic in this household, I had forgotten how fast a baby can crawl! You know that independence idea I had and all that talk about taking more time for myself and getting a tan and working on that sixpack stomach? Nowhere near it!

Hubby has finally decided to do that seminar run in South Africa and the response has been overwhelming. The initial 350 seats were sold out within the first 24 hours so he has another 200 people to accommodate. The man is working 24/7, he worked through the night last night and now he has just passed out in the bedroom. But there’s enough limelight on him – this is my space – my corner!!!

I decided to take some steps to ensure my route to independence so I have found somebody to assist me with cleaning the house once a week for a couple of hours. Today is Friday and the cleaners have just left, the house is clean and I have two hours before the boys come home from school. That means two hours to ‘play’ and discover new things in cyber world-what a luxury!

And I found a brilliant babysitter down the road who will be looking after the kids (all 3 of them) one night pr week so that hubby and I can romance. This is a quite a big step for me with the little one being 10 months old. We had a trial run last week and everything went perfectly fine and my little one loves her new ‘friend’. I did consider installing hidden cameras but decided against it. Our little princess is worshiped and adored by her older brothers so there are watchful eyes on her all the time.

My friend from Norway will be spending the week with me next week so I have written the week off for socializing and entertainment. She is one of my most precious friends so I can’t express how excited I am.

I haven’t had much time to play in cyber world this week but I did learn something interesting today from Bloggernoob about private ad sales. People actually trade ads to make it look as if their blog is earning lots of money and that way they can sell their money blog for more – fascinating!

My daughter is trying to pull the Sony TV screen off the stand – this would be the same TV that her brother drew a cave man on a few months ago. What happened to good old fashioned glass TV screens – they were so easy to clean. Ahhh the good old days…..
